Telluride Yoga Festival

This lovely river walk and ritual will be reminiscent of the traditional flower and prayer offerings to Ma Ganga, the great river Goddess of the Ganges in India. It is said that all rivers are Ma Ganga and our beautiful San Miguel River, which runs through Telluride, is no different. All rivers are sacred and can be accessed for healing, carrying prayers, and letting go.

The San Miguel River Trail is an easy, flat trail. Melanie will guide the way and pause at several strategic places (including a waterfall) to tell the stories of the River Goddesses, chant, pray, and offer flower petals as sacred ritual.

Difficulty: Easy
